This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Best injury lawyer in the state

Mr Stewart was very professional he does have a legal team but you have the one on one time that those big law firms don't offer, he responds to text messages Even the chiropractor he referred me to was awesome I suggest Mr Stewart over any other pain lawyer in the state of Arizona

His fee was more important than us

We were involved in a MVA in which our car was totaled and in which we sustained very serious injuries. After interviewing a number of lawyers we decided to retain Tod Stewart. When we interviewed him, he was everything that others who posted reviews stated – attentive, compassionate, knowledgeable..., etc. after signing the retainer agreement, we had not heard from Tod nor anyone from his office. It wasn’t until the time AFTER that which was stated in the retainer agreement did Tod decide to start any action on the case. The reason for waiting was because after the time stated in the retainer, Tod’s cut of any settlement jumped from 30% to 40%! The first thing he did was file the complaint. This was followed by demanding what the insurance coverage for the defendants was. Once he learned of this figure, he stopped working on the case. All attepts with communicating with Tod – phone calls/messages, emails, facsimiles, texting, letters – all went unanswered. After a number of months of this, we finally received a communication from Tod stating he was transferring our case to another lawyer with whom he works with. He never revealed his name t us nor would he commit in writing the reason for doing this transfer, something we had ever right under the laws of Arizona, to know of. By doing this, it also did not give us the opportunity to find our own “new” counsel. As time went by, this new lawyer was not any good. Due to the severe injuries sustained in the accident and prolonged hospitalization, it was difficult to look for an attorney o assume the case. The lawyer Tod transferred the case to made a number of severe errors to the case which jeopardized the integrity of the case.

TOD STEWART, (an oxy-moron) AN HONEST LAWYER

As a former owner of a Chiropractic clinic I met many lawyers. Most of those I met with lived up to the stereotypical reputations associated with today's lawyers. Tod Stewart from the start distinguished himself from his peers. He was meticulous in documenting every issue effecting his clients cas...es. He was knowledgable and respected by those he negotiated with at the insurance companies. As a result his clients compensations oftentimes exceeded their expectations. The feedback I received from those who were treating their injuries in my clinic was always very positive. It wasn't until I myself was injured in an accident and utilized his legal services that I truly came to know how good Tod Stewart is at his profession. I without hesitation recommend Stewart Law to my family, friends and to anyone in need of a honest personal injury attorney.

Choosing Tod Stewart to handle my accident case is hands down one of the best decisions that I ever made!!!

I chose Tod to represent me at the recommendation of a friend. I was hit by a hit and run driver that was never found and I thought that I had no recourse. Boy was I ever wrong. I could not be more happy and appreciative of the service that Tod provided for me. If you're ever in an accident the first... call that you should make after calling 911 is Tod Stewart. You will be happy that you did and I mean this sincerely.
